Chapter 53 Zhou Qinghe Appears
[The player died after "instantly activating Immortal Mode," and their strength had reached the third level of Qi Refining. 10 points of Luck were automatically deducted.]
The night is deep.
The incessant chirping of insects in summer made Zhou Yi feel somewhat irritable.
He knew the strength of the four players from Qianlong. The Spirit Beast Garden was flat and spacious, so even if they couldn't defeat the monsters, they could usually escape without much trouble.
Without a cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi Refining, it would be virtually impossible to hold these players back. However, Zhou Yi had already gone there once before, and after some reconnaissance, he did not find any demonic beasts that posed a threat to him.
"It seems there are some formidable demonic beasts in this spirit beast garden!"
Zhou Yi thought to himself, and immediately opened the game forum, ready to peek and see what was going on.
Now that the players have logged off, the news of the high-level players' deaths will definitely cause a huge uproar on the forums.
as predicted.
Zhou Yi had just opened the forum when there were already 99+ unread messages.
Hidden Dragon in the Abyss: "Tsk tsk tsk, even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman."
Run-Knife Rat: "Haha, first there was a group of stars, who got the first blood by the Crimson Flame Monkey, and then there was the Immortal who could open in an instant, who was sent to the Western Paradise by the Fox Spirit."
A fan of cilantro: "Hahaha, a celestial being died for love, a legendary romance between a human and a demon, this paint is truly divine!!"
The messages on the forum became increasingly outrageous, even going so far as to claim a three-life love-hate relationship between the Immortal of Instant Opening and the fox.
Zhou Yi was completely baffled, so he simply continued to observe and wait and see.
He instantly switched to "immortal mode": "Brothers, please let me go. It's easy to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of legwork to refute them."
Cangfeng Mingyue: "But it really sounds real to me. Is the Immortal Master trying to hide his true abilities?"
When stars shine brightly: "Cangfeng and Mingyue, I ask you, if you won 100 yuan in the lottery, what would you do?"
Cangfengmingyue: "Of course I'd post it on WeChat Moments to show off."
When galaxies shine brightly: "What if you won a million?"
Cangfeng Mingyue: "...Then I definitely need to keep a low profile."
"Holy crap, StarCraft, you're amazing!!"
Like a stone thrown into a still pond, this joke about the Astronomical Galaxy caused a huge stir among players, pushing their emotions to a fever pitch.
The Immortal could only continue explaining, on the verge of tears. Finally, after everyone had had their fill of fun, the truth was revealed to Zhou Yi.
In short.
Qianlong and his group are heading out today to wipe out the fox-like demons in the Spirit Beast Garden.
The information about these monsters had already been explored by several new players. Their strength wasn't particularly formidable, with the highest cultivation level only reaching the fourth level of Qi Refining.
However, the population is quite large, with nearly 40 individuals.
With the two buffs combined, the entire fox clan naturally became a highly sought-after experience pack in the eyes of Qianlong and others.
After much deliberation, Crouching Tiger quickly devised a meticulous plan.
As it turned out, the plan was indeed remarkably effective in its early stages. They killed most of the foxes with virtually no losses, and their cultivation levels even reached a bottleneck, with some on the verge of breaking through.
But who would have thought that at the crucial moment, the fox clan leader would use some kind of special illusionary magic.
The immortal who was hit by the attack suddenly grabbed a fox that was about to be killed by the Hidden Dragon's stab and took the sword for it, dying on the spot.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Forest: "So, you instantly became an immortal? Do you remember what that felt like?"
Instantly activating "immortal mode": "How should I put it? When that fox's gaze swept over me, I felt completely stunned, as if I were being controlled by something."
I'm Not a Sword Immortal: "Damn, to be honest, this supernatural power is a bit scary. It can even control a person's body."
Hidden Dragon in the Abyss: "Yes, I think so too."
A fox that can control its own body—what kind of supernatural power is that?
Zhou Yi frowned and silently made a note of the matter.
If he had the chance to kill it later, he might be able to sell it to the Jiang family for a good price. But right now, he clearly couldn't care less about that.
The next morning, a thin mist shrouded the forest.
Within the Lianyun Mountains, two figures sped past at an astonishing speed.
"Father, how long do you think it will take us to reach the Cloud Mountain Sect?"
Zhou Yunqiao spoke, her tone somewhat excited.
Although she was a woman, she had cultivated since childhood, and her mother had died early.
Therefore, he has a rather strong personality and is very interested in things like magical duels. He often spars with his peers in the Zhou family.
However, because they were careful in their actions and because the exchange of skills was beneficial to the growth of the younger generation of the Zhou family, the Zhou family elders did not criticize them too harshly.
Now, this is likely the first time she has gone to such lengths to fight against outsiders, and she is naturally filled with fighting spirit.
"Yun Qiao, cultivators' duels are not family competitions, so we must not act carelessly."
Zhou Qinghe offered some words of advice.
He knew his daughter was warlike by nature, and she was inevitably excited about her first battle with a cultivator, forgetting the danger.
Many geniuses in cultivation often die because of carelessness in battles.
"Father, just keep your heart to yourself. Zhou Yi is just a rogue cultivator who broke through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining by sheer luck."
"Forget about any superior cultivation techniques, I doubt he even has a few decent magical artifacts. I've just mastered the 'Mysterious Ice Sword Technique,' which is more than enough to deal with him."
Zhou Yunqiao nodded obediently in agreement, but the excitement in her heart made her quicken her pace by three points.
"Sigh, this girl... daughters grow up and leave home."
Zhou Qinghe sighed softly.
But despite saying that, he secretly harbored a glimmer of hope.
Just a few days ago, because Zhou Yunqiao comprehended the "Mysterious Ice Sword Technique," the family's Foundation Establishment ancestor had just issued a reward, and even stated that Zhou Yunqiao had the potential to establish a Foundation Establishment.
Although there was an element of praise in those words, Zhou Qinghe was well aware of it.
As one of the four spiritual roots, Zhou Yunqiao was able to reach the fifth level of Qi Refining at the age of 18, not only because of her outstanding combat talent, but also because of her extraordinary understanding of cultivation techniques.
As a top-tier sword technique for the Qi Refining stage, the "Mysterious Ice Sword Art" was, according to his understanding, something that many members of the Zhou family at the late Qi Refining stage were unable to master.
Zhou Yunqiao learned it and even mastered it in just half a month.
"It's a pity that Uncle Thirteen's Frost Sword was lost along with his death; otherwise, Yun Qiao's combat power would probably have been even more astonishing..."
What parent doesn't consider their child's needs?
If Zhou Qinghe could still find that top-grade first-tier magic weapon, the Frost Sword, he would acquire it even at great expense.
Thinking of this, he slowly looked ahead, where a stone tablet seemed to stand quietly at the end of the dense forest in the distance.
"Looks like we're almost there."
……
"Sigh, I'm so heartbroken..."
At the entrance to the sect ruins, Qunxing looked down at his Frost Sword and sighed silently.
Seeing his expression, Qianlong chuckled mischievously and teased him:
"What's wrong... your good buddy instantly went into the dark room, are you heartbroken?"
The stars shook their heads and sighed:
"Hidden Dragon, you don't understand. I currently possess an Ice Sword, but I lack any ice-based sword techniques. It feels like..."
Qianlong interjected:
"The Frost Sword cannot exist without ice-based sword techniques, just as the West cannot exist without Jerusalem."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Qunxing slapped his thigh excitedly and nodded repeatedly. He hadn't quite caught on just now and had actually forgotten some of his lines.
Wo Hu looked at the two clowns beside him and smiled helplessly.
After a while.
He stepped forward, extended his hands, and patted each of them on the shoulder:
"Alright, alright, let's get down to business."
"no problem."
"Received, received."
Qianlong and Qunxing immediately agreed. There was a reason why they were now at the entrance of the sect ruins.
Based on Wohu's previous speculation, the fox probably indirectly controls the body by influencing people's mental state.
Coincidentally, during yesterday's forum discussion, Wohu learned from a few casual conversations that the Crimson Flame Monkey King Wei Chen in the Alchemy Pavilion could refine the Heart-Clearing Pill.
It also has a certain effect on reducing mental control.
Unfortunately, when Wohu went to inquire this morning, he discovered that the core ingredient of Qingxin Pill, Qingling Grass, had already been used up.
Fortunately, the Crimson Flame Monkey King still knew where the Qingling Grass was picked.
With this in mind, Wohu took out the tattered map from his hand and began to examine it carefully.
There is a small red circle in the upper right corner of the map, marked with the words "Qingling Grass", which is obviously the location of Qingling Grass.
"Let's not delay, let's go."
As Wohu finished speaking, the three of them got up and prepared to head towards their destination.
But before they had taken more than a few steps, two unfamiliar figures suddenly appeared in the dense forest.
